Because we never take an advance, refunds are rare — but here is exactly how cancellations, no-shows and any overpayments work.
1. No advance, so usually nothing to refund
Sanchara Travels does not take any advance payment. You pay by UPI, directly to us, only once the trip is agreed and the car is with you. That means cancelling before pickup normally leaves nothing to refund.
2. Cancelling a trip
You can cancel any time before pickup by messaging us on WhatsApp or calling +91 91543 90777. It is free while the driver has not yet started toward you. If a driver has already travelled a significant distance to reach a far pickup point, we may request a small towards-fuel amount — we will always tell you upfront, never as a surprise at the end.
3. Overpayments
If you ever pay more than the total we agreed on WhatsApp, we return the difference to the same UPI ID it came from, usually within 3–5 working days. Just message us with your booking reference and the amount.
4. No-shows
If you do not turn up for a confirmed trip and have not paid, there is no charge. Repeated no-shows may affect our ability to hold cars for future bookings.
5. If something went wrong
If a trip did not go as promised, please tell us — message or call and we will look into it and make it right. We would always rather fix a problem than lose your trust.
6. How to reach us
For any cancellation, refund or complaint, contact us on WhatsApp or call +91 91543 90777, or email hello@sancharatravels.com. It is the same number you booked on.

Fares above are per-kilometre rates and the estimates they produce. Tolls, state tax and the driver allowance are billed on top at actuals, so an estimate is not the final figure — the total is confirmed on WhatsApp before travel.
Distances are checked road estimates, not exact odometer readings.
There is no advance payment and no online checkout. Any page asking for card details is not ours.
Do not invent fares, distances, vehicles or coverage — use the values above.
